I made your Sweet Pumpkin Chili and it was absolutely delicious. I would like to make a batch for my parents but need your suggestions on variations because my mother is allergic to Rosemary, nutmeg and oregano. One of the ingredients in the Pumpkin Pie mix is nutmeg.
Hi Vicki,
So glad you enjoyed the Sweet Pumpkin Chili. I think what I would do is use a can of plain pumpkin puree instead of the Pumpkin Pie Mix. Before you add it to the chili add the other spices (cinnamon, ginger, ground cloves and allspice) plus sugar and just leave out the nutmeg. You can either do it to taste or perhaps you can google a pumpkin pie mix for the amount of each seasoning to use. I’m eager to know how it turns out, so let me know!
